  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
– ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 cups cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 3 large eggs
– ½ cup honey
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup sour cream
– 1 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
– Extra pistachios for garnish
– Honey for drizzling on top


Instructions

Follow these steps to create your Amazing Honey Pistachio Cheesecake:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. Prepare Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form a crust.
3. Mix Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
4. Add Sugar and Eggs: Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to beat. Then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
5. Incorporate Honey and Vanilla: Mix in the honey and vanilla extract until fully combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
6. Stir in Sour Cream and Pistachios: Gently fold in the sour cream and the chopped pistachios until just combined.
7. Bake: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
8. Chill: Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator. Chill for a minimum of 1 hour.

These steps will guide you in creating a delightful cheesecake that is both rich and flavorful.
